His enthusiasm was infectious, and he was great when he got over excited - he and James Hunt were a great team, with Hunt trying (and usually failing) to rein in Walker's enthusiasm.

He'll be missed, but he made it to 97 before he crossed the finish line.

A legend; very knowledgeable....and a bloomin good laugh at times as well.

The comment that sticks in my memory (but may be apocryphal) is "There's nothing wrong with the car, except that it is on fire"
